The course will cover ANOVA, linear regression and some extensions. It will be a mixture of lectures and hands-on time using RStudio to analyse data.
- ANOVA
- Simple and multiple regression
- Generalised Linear Models
- Introduction to more advanced topics, like non-linear models and time series.
- Realise the connection between t-tests, ANOVA and linear regression
- Fit a linear regression
- Check if the assumptions of linear regression are met by the data and what to do if they are not
- Know when linear regression is not appropriate and have an idea of which alternative method might be appropriate
- Know when you need to seek help with analysis as the data structure is too complex for the methods taught
